Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who was the first Christian Roman emperor and is considered one of the most important figures in Roman history. He ruled from 306 to 337 AD and oversaw many significant changes, including the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion of the empire and the founding of the city of Constantinople, which would later become the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
